Until I met the other half I only ate basic junk food and ready meals. The only vegetable I'd eat was potato. He's the one who gave me a food education!<br /><br />My sweet chilli chicken involves nothing more than chicken and whatever bottle of chilli sauce is in the cupboard. Thing is...with the exception of the oyster sauce, I've got all these ingredients in the cupboard anyway!Janenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6040346349049757534.post-7144770925141976442011-05-14T18:14:59.199+01:002011-05-14T18:14:59.199+01:00Yes, of course, your absolutely right.
As an only...Yes, of course, your absolutely right. <br />As an only child, l grew up very close to my Mum.<br />I learned to cook, sew, knit and even do hair. <br />Which came in handy later on, my daughter and her friends went through a phase of wanting plaits and beads in their hair. So most mornings, before 8 o'clock, l'd have 4-5, 8-10yr olds, wanting their hair done....! :).<br />But, then, my daughter, also an only child, l raised differently. The food was there to be tried, and of course, she would help in it's preparation. Even when l skinned and gutted rabbits, hares, pheasants etc. She was always at my side. <br />You where lucky....Cottage pie, and making a landscape....Wow....If l'd done that, my Mum,<br />my Mum, my Mum......! Would have..........<br />You fill in the rest....! :(<br />I was NOT to play with food. But, then with my daughter....Mash....Oh! let's build Corfe Castle...Great fun. :0).<br />Sign of the times l suppose.....Still, l turned out o.k. As with my daughter....! <br />But, l always say...."I'm The Best There Is, The Best There Was, And The Best There Ever Will Be"...." :). So there....! :).WILLIE...! =(^..^)=https://www.blogger.com/profile/14862273578655424772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6040346349049757534.post-85563825341535824782011-05-14T16:56:45.323+01:002011-05-14T16:56:45.323+01:00You know, Willie, I think there's a lot in wha...You know, Willie, I think there's a lot in what you say about being "trained" to eat anything and everything. It was the same way in my house when I was growing up. We couldn't afford for anyone to be picky, you ate it because there wasn't anything else coming your way. Mind you, I do think that having a Mum who is great at cooking, certainly helped! I don't remember much that wasn't to my liking. I can remember being served Cottage Pie, peas and carrots - and being allowed to carefully make a landscape out of mine. The peas were a field, the mince was a field lying fallow, the carrots were the farm buildings and the mash - well I can't quite remember how that fitted in, but I know I found some use for it! It always seemed to be a shame to eat it after that, but I tucked it all away! LOL<br /><br />Gosh, Sarah, well done your hubby! He must have had an open mind about veggies - or had it opened by your great cooking!Jenny Eatwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16664664803454422811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6040346349049757534.post-64831299876867187922011-05-14T16:18:36.550+01:002011-05-14T16:18:36.550+01:00Oh your post did make me smile! my husband did not...Oh your post did make me smile! my husband did not eat any veg when i first knew him. Been together 15 years and he will now eat anything.

But, your right of course, tastes, textures and so on, come into it....! <br />Oh! and a Mother, who says...."Willie, you will eat it, or l'll nail yer foot to the floor". (In Italian of course). God, l used to run round in circles....! <br />Lovely post, though Jenny..Stir Fry....mmmM!<br />Two Greedy Italians, brought back lovely memories this week.....The lemons....Wow....! <br />And, the ladies making pasta. As a child, l used to make tagliatelle with Mama, and hang it over the cloths horse to dry. And, yes, for some pastas, even use a spoke out of a bicycle wheel to role it....! I suppose that's why l only had a uni-cycle....! :). LOL.<br />Ah! happy days....! :).WILLIE...! =(^..^)=https://www.blogger.com/profile/14862273578655424772noreply@blogger.com
